    Ive babied my m14x like a new born since ive got it and recently when i was cleaning the screen i saw a few dot like scratches on the screen, i guess from something making contact with it. The plastic peice covering the lcd is very easy to replace , it just pops off. My question is where would you get or buy a new one? Thanks guys.

    Are you talking about the two little holes with the camera in between them?

    I got dust behind the plastic housing that covered the screen and I was able to remove it quite easily. You should not have any problem removing it.
